This is a guide for the Modern Vampire;
therefore, if you are of the living — a warm-blooded human — you will gain
nothing useful from its study. However, if you are one of the many who are new
to our existence — the undead as it were — and you do not fully understand what
has happened to you or how to proceed, assistance is at hand. For the recently
transformed, this guide can help you understand how your body has been changed
by the transformation and what to expect surviving as one of our kind. For the
traditional vampire, you may learn new ways to survive. This guide provides
solutions to the problem with sunlight while explaining that blood is not all
we must consume for our survival. It may also help you — and possibly others of
our kind — to learn and adapt to modern times while providing sufficient
explanation as to who we are and, perhaps more importantly, what we are not. With
this guide in hand, you will be well prepared to enter the realm of the Modern
Vampire.
